The Defense Department imposed a shelter-in-place order for part of the sprawling Pentagon building over an air-quality issue, according to a statement.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said Pentagon systems “have detected an air quality issue necessitating precautionary measures until we determine its significance.”

The Defense Department is carrying out “standard protection protocols” that includes the shelter-in-place order for the affected area of the building.

CNN reported that firefighters and emergency medical services staff had reported to the scene over what it called a “hazardous materials incident.”

1. It's supposed to hit 95 degrees with high humidity today.

I hope they aren’t later pushed out of the building and have to stand around. 🙁

5. AC would be shut down

so it could get uncomfortable indoors if this takes awhile.

6. Is the wind blowing from the Offal Office towards the Pentagon?

8. Shame

the air quality alerts that bombard our cities regularly throughout the year don’t prompt enough alarm of the increasing pollution and what it is doing to the most vulnerable.

The children and elderly whose pulmonary, respiratory, and micro plastic, cellular lives that are irreparably damaged don’t warrant any remediation. In contrast- the war machine is alarmed if some airborne particulates invade their officious sanctity. We are a morally damaged America first- the actual people second.

9. Asbestos from the east wing?

10. False Alarm

ARLINGTON COUNTY, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) — Several floors and corridors in the Pentagon were locked down and evacuated for a time Thursday morning, but officials now say it was a false alarm.

CNN reports the situation was called a “hazardous material incident,” and Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said that systems within the building had “detected an air quality issue necessitating precautionary measures.”

The Pentagon Force Protection Agency’s hazardous materials response team and the Arlington County Fire Department responded to the situation.

The security team sent a message stating that an “air quality issue” had been detected and more testing was needed.
